Abstract

An audio interface (110) provides access to a hypertext document and enables link navigation (310). The hypertext document has textual information, including one or more text-based link identifiers that represent links to information sources. The audio interface outputs the textual information of the document as speech, while distinguishing the text-based link identifiers using distinct sound characteristics (320, 330, 340, 350). Preferably, the audio interface operates to receive voice commands that specify one or more of the test-based link identifiers (410). Upon receipt of such a voice command, the audio interface performs a particular action using the associated link address (420, 430).
